Understaffed food stamp fraud prevention units and lax anti-fraud security on Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards have created a thriving underground market where food stamp recipients illegally sell and trade their taxpayer-funded benefits, often using online websites like Backpage.com, Craigslist, or social media. That is one of the findings of a new report by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) examining how the poverty industry has become a massive profit center for politically-connected corporations like JP Morgan, who have made at least $560,492,596 since 2004 to process the EBT cards of food stamp recipients in 24 states and two U.S. territories.

Panetta didn’t mention a cyberattack specifically on EBT. Just wanted to clarify.
Yes what you are describing is TANF.
Temporary Assitance for Needy Families. Cash money over and above food stamps, etc,
A local TV station here in Indianapolis got a computer file of TANF card ATM withdrawals for cards issued by Indiana.
Vegas, Disney (LA and FL), Puerto Rico, NYC, Hawaii, Nevada brothels, all were on the list.
Yes I checked on this - is there any deduction from food stamps for children that get breakfast and lunch at school (including summer vacation time, btw)?
Answer is it isn’t considered.
Excellent thought.
Additionally,
General Mills
Heinz
ConAgra
Tyson
Hormel
Perdue
Nestle
Dole
Sara Lee
Dean Foods
Kmart
Delhaize Group
Super value Inc. (Albertsons, Savealot, etc)
Eckerds
Walgreens
CVS
And then there’s a bazillion regional retailers...
You speak prophecy. An entire generation and a half of government wards will explode when their EBT cards quit working.
Its free! Swipe yo EBT!
